There is a big mess in eastern Mississippi…lots of huge storms, torrential rains, tremendous lightning, large hail and the potential for damaging winds.
The NWS Birmingham is going severe thunderstorm warning for now even for the long lived supercell in the Columus area. I think it is a good decision.
